History Main / CampGay

More positive portrayals of this character type will sometimes be portrayed as the OnlySaneMan among a group of dysfunctional (and usually straight) characters--expect this variant to have flamboyancy as his ''only'' quirk and often sass or snark his less well-adjusted peers when they get crazy.

** Big Gay Al is a flamboyant gay stereotype. He has eyelashes, wears a pink shirt, and even has the word "Gay" in his name. Lampshaded in the episode "Cripple Fight".-->'''Scoutmaster:''' It's come to our attention that you're... gay.-->'''Big Gay Al:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, stop the presses!]] [[CaptainObvious Did you figure that out all by yourself, silly buns?]]

* Big Gay Al from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is a flamboyant gay stereotype. He has eyelashes, wears a pink shirt, and even has the word "Gay" in his name. Lampshaded in the episode "Cripple Fight".-->'''Scoutmaster:''' It's come to our attention that you're... gay.-->'''Big Gay Al:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, stop the presses!]] [[CaptainObvious Did you figure that out all by yourself, silly buns?]]

* Jann from ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''. While having to wear a male military uniform prevents him from wearing dresses, he still wears women's make-up. The gameplay mimics this too - his potentials are things like "Fancies Men" and "Pollen Allergy" and he also has a unique potential named "Largo Lover" that activates whenever he is around Largo, which gives the player a short sequence of Jann girlishly squealing with excitement. The English dub even gave him a voice that may as well be Big Gay Al.

* Otokosuki from the end of ''Anime/DragonBallZ,'' who talks in an overly feminine manner, dresses like a member of the VillagePeople, and has absolutely no problem flirting with his opponent Trunks. His name even ''[[MeaningfulName means]]'' "Likes Men".

* Seiji from ''Manga/SakamichiNoApollon'' is fairly flamboyant and has a lisp in the English dub. His casual flirting with the protagonist creeps them out but he is written respectably. Seiji contrasts Kaoru and Sentarou as he is obsessed with contemporary pop bands like Music/TheBeatles instead of jazz. He wants to become a popular musician to support his family [[spoiler:and the seven year timeskip showed he became just that.]]

** Subverted with Dana Carvey's Lyle the Effeminate Heterosexual, in which Carvey plays a garden variety, married suburban dad everyone that assumes is gay because he behaves in a stereotypical Camp Gay manner. When asked if he's gay, his reply is a heavily-lisping "That's insaaaaaane!"
